A GI-spec 1911 is it's own disassembly tool kit, to the point where you only need a screwdriver for the grips. Anything else is usually a train wreck of complex double action clockworks or one-time-use roll pins. The 1911 and Glock are the most easily armorer/end-user serviced pistols on earth. I break centerfire handguns down into four groups: I think you guys who argue "Glock vs 1911" until you're blue in the face, or don't want to allow one or the other in the same room the one you prefer are kinda cute.

For example, to me the Colt Series 80 would still be considered a 1911 despite incorporating a firing pin safety system, but the Mexican Obregon would not as the slide, barrel, and many other parts are completely different, even though the lower half is similar and may even share magazines or other small parts with a standard 1911. But I left a manufacturer off the list if their guns strayed too far from the original design. It must be based off the original John Browning/Colt design and share a substantial number of interchangeable parts (primarily the slide, frame and barrel), with "interchangeable" allowing for the obvious fact that many new pistols will include modern upgrades (such as beavertail grip safeties and improved sights) that would not fit on an original US military 1911. In the end I had to choose to apply my own definition, which hopefully the majority of you will agree with.

The biggest problem with compiling a list like this is determining how to even precisely define a 1911 pistol, given the sheer number of variations produced over the years with numerous design changes. I'm confining this to volume manufacturers and leaving out the small "one-man" shops, not because they're not legitimate 1911 makers but because if they were included we'd probably have at least a couple thousand different manufacturers!

However if anyone can think of one that I missed, please add it to this thread and I'll update the main list when possible. It may not even be possible to create a complete and accurate list, given all the variations and cross-branding. I'm attempting to list all current and former 1911 manufacturers.
Per a couple of Dictionaries obsolete is not a term that is remotely close to being appropriate for the 1911.
